Catherine Elizabeth Hudson

Katharine Elizabeth Hudson, much better known as Katy Perry, is an American singer who performs mostly songs of her own writing. The hit "I Kissed a Girl" made the artist world famous, and subsequently the singer was nominated for a Grammy 13 times. Katy Perry is at the peak of popularity and is one of the three most successful musicians from a financial point of view.

Catherine was born in Santa Barbara, California, the son of Maurice Hudson and his wife Mary Christine Perry. Both parents were evangelical preachers. In addition to Katie, the eldest daughter Angela and younger brother David, who also tried his hand at the recording world, were brought up in the family. By the way, Katy Perry is not the first famous person in the family. Mother's own brother, Frank Perry, was a theater and film director, the author of many films, including the successful tragicomedy "Compromising Poses".

Before the girl was 11 years old, the family constantly traveled around the country, which was associated with the profession of parents. Children were brought up in religious rigor. Katie and her brother and sister also sang constantly in the church choir.

Modern music in the family was not encouraged, but the girl got acquainted with this trend in her teens thanks to her school friends. Favorite performers were Alanis Morissette and Joni Mitchell, as well as the groups Queen, Nirvana and Heart. At the age of 15, Katie leaves school and decides to become a singer. The girl took a short course in Italian opera at the Academy of Music in Nashville, took lessons from country musicians and began making demo recordings of her own songs.

The beginning of her singing career was not very successful. The first singles "Trust In Me" and "Search Me" did not have much success, as did the debut album "Katy Hudson", recorded in the gospel style, although critics spoke of this work very positively. A few years later, the singer wrote the soundtrack "Simple" for the movie "Jeans Mascot".

At that moment, the girl takes her mother's maiden name as a pseudonym and becomes Katy Perry. As the singer later explained, her native name Katie Hudson was similar to the name of the actress Kate Hudson, and the girl did not want associations.

The main breakthrough awaited Katie in 2008. The song "I Kissed a Girl" has become a real event in world popular music. The popularity of the single was reinforced by the full-length album "One of the Boys", which went platinum on sales. Another big hit from this disc was the song "Hot n Cold". Soon, the world heard the duet composition "If We Ever Meet Again", which Perry sang together with rapper Timbaland.

"California Gurls" became the new world hit of the shocking performer. This song topped the charts of all English-speaking countries for almost two months. The follow-up disc "Teenage Dream" contained four more big hits: "Last Friday Night", "ET", "Teenage Dream" and "Firework". Thus, Katie was able to repeat the success of Michael Jackson, since at once five songs from one album became number one in the charts.

On the wave of the singer's success, the musical film "Katy Perry: A Piece of Me" is released, which tells about the artist's biography, from childhood to the present. The film stars pop stars, Perry's colleagues - Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears.

Katy Perry's solo album "Prism" was released in 2013 and featured the popular songs "Unconditionally" and "This is How We Do". Another achievement for Perry is crossing the billion-dollar threshold of seeing two clips on YouTube's VEVO music channel. This video is for the hits from the 2013 album "Roar" and "Dark Horse". In the winter of 2015, the singer performed with the compositions of the last disc during the break between the halves of the American football final game, and this mini-concert is considered the most successful in the history of such matches.

In 2015, the Forbes magazine included Katy Perry in the list of high-paid performers with an income of $ 135 million. The singer's popularity in the Billboard Hot 100 ranking was ranked 24th. In addition to her musical achievements, the artist signed a contract with the Moschino trademark and became its official person.

In mid-summer 2016, Katie announced her new song "Rise", which was named the official anthem of the 2016 Summer Olympics.

At one time Katy Perry met with Travis McCoy, lead singer of the American group "Gym Class Heroes", and even appeared in their video for the song "Cupid's Chokehold". But at the end of 2008, the musicians broke up. Soon, the girl began dating the British comedian Russell Brand, and on the eve of 2010, her engagement was announced.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand were married on October 23, 2010 in India. But this union did not last long, and on the penultimate day of 2011, the couple filed for divorce. Interestingly, the Brand did not begin to claim a share of his wife's property, as he had the right by law.

The next boyfriend of the superstar was musician John Mayer, with whom Katie was for exactly three years. But since February 2016, the public has steadily associated Katy Perry's name with British actor Orlando Bloom. The young people met at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony and subsequently appeared together many times.

In the spring of 2017, young people ended their relationship, it seemed, forever. But less than a year later, the artists resumed their romance, first of all going to the Maldives. In March 2018, the Daily Mail reporters found the lovers in the Czech Republic.

Katy Perry is the author of her own perfume line, which produced such perfumes for women as Purr, Meow and Killer Queen. The singer spends a lot of money on charity. In the spring of 2016, the artist transferred $ 1 million to the donor organization "Donors Choose".

Katy Perry continues to hold the position of a successful pop singer. The tabloids are full of references to the singer. In early 2017, the single "Chained To The Rhythm" was released, which was then heard by guests at the 59th Grammy Awards, at the BRIT Awards and at the iHeart Radio Music Awards.

Soon the audience heard the single "Bon Appétit", which was the precursor to the new disc, as well as the song "Swish Swish", for which Nicki Minaj was invited to record. Later, the second song was performed at the MTV Video Music Awards. In summer, the VEVO music channel hosted the presentation of the hit “Roulette”.

The release of the new album "Witness" took place in the summer immediately from the first position of the national charts. The premiere of Katie was accompanied by a reality show in which the artist's daily life was broadcast. The audience of the program, which lasted three days, amounted to 190 countries of the world. In September, the singer went on a world tour in support of the album. At the end of the year, the singer presented a video for the song "Hey Hey Hey".

In addition to solo performances, Perry participates in collaborative work with colleagues. The audience heard Katie's voice in Calvin Harris's "Feels".

In early 2018, FOX launched the 16th season of the American Idol music show, where Katy Perry became a member of the panel of judges. The singer's company at the jury tables was made up of country performer Luke Brian and the star of the 80s American pop scene Lionel Richie. The girl marks the highlights of the show with videos on her Instagram page. Photos that are significant for the singer also appear there.

Now the name of the artist was involved in one controversial incident. In 2017, Katy Perry began the process of concluding an agreement with the church diocese regarding the purchase of a former convent located in Los Angeles. Elderly nuns still living there reacted negatively to this. Litigation began, during which an order was issued to sell the building of the monastery to Katy Perry. During the court hearings, one of the nuns died of anxiety.
